Been a year since my last update. Still getting used to the big power. Finally decided to bite the bullet and talk seriously about a Manic tune. Seems they can use my AP tune as a "base" tune, plus tune for 30PSI without using a fuel (or boost) cut defender, and maybe even get rid of conditions causing my troublesome P2884 / P2885 codes.

Since we have family in the Phoenix area, we decided to work with EuroTechs for a couple days. This dyno chart is my first one with Manic and isn't done with the correct WMI mix --- the mix is changing from 50 - 50 to 80 - 20 for the "daily driving" map, so I need to use up the existing mix. There was some "fine tuning" done after this chart, so there might be even more WHP available. I'm hoping to get another dyno run at ThunderHill mid-Feb, if I can keep it together 'til then.

FYI --- it's a stage 4 tune with my original custom AP map as the "base". Map A is for use without WMI, map B is for daily driving with 80 - 20 WMI, and map C is for 100% meth --- when I need an adrenalin rush!

As with past journal versions, this one doesn't change older info, just adds a new page or two.

 

Here's a "journal" of my upgrade installations. It gets updated as I add new stuff. Updates will not significantly change earlier entries.

 

Here's my latest journal update. No changes to previous text, only additions on the last page or two.

Been awhile since my last update. As before, only the last couple pages are new, no changes to earlier versions.

 

Here's my latest update, only the last page or two is new. Also have my last dyno runs. Next dyno should be 300+ WHP and torque, with 30PSI boost.

 

Here's another Journal update, with my latest dyno chart. Note that the chart doesn't include boost. It was set to and made 30 PSI.

 

Had a hell of a time finding this thread --- forum admin must have changed the "garage" structure, 'cause I couldn't get here from my "user CP" garage link.

Anyhow, here's my next update --- same process as before --- only the last page or two is new.

 

One more update, possibly the last for this thread. It's only a couple new paragraphs, with no changes to earlier content.

The saga continues here http://www.motoringalliance.com/forums/373501-post1.html, describing how I broke it, then that one moves on to a third one describing a rebuild.
